descended from him. The Chandya clan is separate,<br />
and the Haddianl and Kalois, the sub-tuman of the<br />
mountains, are said to be of Bozdar origin.<br />
Lund.—A large tribe divided into two tumans, both in<br />
Dera Ghazi Khan—the Lunds of Son and the Lunds<br />
of Tibbi. Both claim descent from All, son of Behan,<br />
Mir Chakur's cousin. The Son Lunds are a large<br />
tribe living in the plains, with their headquarters<br />
at Kot Kandiwala. This tribe contains a clan of<br />
Gurchanls. The Tibbi Lunds are a small tribe with<br />
a clan of Lunds and one of Khosas, to which a third<br />
clan, called Bind, but of impure blood, is also attached.<br />
Mam.—One of the best known among Baloch tribes for<br />
their marauding propensities. Of composite origin.<br />
The Ghazanl section are supposed to be descended<br />
from Ghazan, son of Ali, son of Jalal Khan, and the<br />
Bijaranls from Bijar, who revolted against Mir Chakur.<br />
The Mazaranis are said to be of Khetran origin, and<br />
the Loharanis of mixed descent. No doubt some Jatts,<br />
and also some Kalmatis, Buledhis, and Hasanis have<br />
been absorbed, and perhaps some Pathan elements<br />
also among the Bijaranls.<br />
Rdtsdnl.—A powerful Brahoi tribe, said by some Baloches<br />
to be of Baloch descent, and traced to Bais, cousin of<br />
Mir Chakur. This genealogy is, perhaps, only due to<br />
the similarity of name.<br />
Shambdnl.—A small tribe, sometimes classed as a clan of<br />
the Bughti occupying the hill country adjacent to the<br />
Bughti and Mazari tribes. Traced, like the Lunds, to<br />
Behan, cousin of Mir Chakur.<br />
Umardni.—A small tribe in Kachhi, and also a clan or<br />
sept of the Maghassl, Marrl, Lund, and Khosa tribes.<br />
Zarkdni.—Another name for the Bughti (q.v.). It is<br />
noticeable that a neighbouring Kakar Pathan clan (of<br />
Kohl) bears the name Zarkan.<br />
Tribes not organized as Tumans.<br />
Ahmdaiu.—A tribe formerly of importance, with its headquarters<br />
at Mana, in Dera Ghazi Khan. There is also<br />
a large Ahmdani clan among the Sorl Lunds, and<br />
among the Haddianl Legharis. The Mana Ahmdanis<br />
are said to descend from Gyandar (see Appendix<br />
III., v.).<br />
Gishkhauri.—Now found scattered in Dera Isma'il Khan<br />
and Muzafargarh, also in Mekran. Said to be descended
